What are commercial & industrial rooflights?
Our commercial & industrial rooflights service in Ayrshire covers rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. We survey every job before fixing the price.
Stone villas, cottages and conservation areas across Scotland often call for conservation rooflights in slate roofs. Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters.

Planning and building rules in Scotland
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For non-domestic buildings in Scotland, the non-domestic Technical Handbook (section 6) sets the energy standards for rooflights; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building warrant. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.

How the job runs
- Tell us about the roof. Send the postcode, rough sizes and a photo or two through the form, WhatsApp or the guide-price tool.
- Free survey. For new installations a surveyor measures the opening, checks the roof build-up and talks through glass and options.
- Fixed written quote. You get the product, the work and the price in writing. Nothing is ordered or paid for until you agree.
- Fitting and handover. We fit, seal and make good, then hand over product data, warranties and any certificate paperwork.

Common questions
Can you quote from drawings?
Yes, with a site survey to confirm.
Are old rooflights a safety risk?
Older plastic rooflight sheets can become brittle. Anyone working on the roof must treat them as fragile unless proven otherwise.
Can you replace old warehouse rooflight sheets?
Yes. We match the roof profile, replace discoloured or damaged sheets and plan safe access while the building stays in use.
Do you work out of hours?
For occupied buildings we can plan phased or out-of-hours working where access allows.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Ayrshire?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
